Hunting’s new EQUAfrac® OP shaped charges enhance the industry-leading consistent-hole EQUAfrac® technology through meticulous design and testing, ensuring all charges are fired in a single orientation. By focusing on a single phase, EQUAfrac® OP delivers the most consistent oriented perforations in the industry. Oriented perforating increases the likelihood of uniform entry hole sizes, as the perforation jets travel the same fluid distance between the gun carrier and casing. Consistent entry hole sizes are crucial for evenly distributing frac fluids across each perforation zone, ensuring optimal stimulation. Research from leading E&P companies shows improved fracturing results with oriented perforating, especially when using limited-entry completion designs.
